Golden rules are those that truly apply. You need to have them in mind and don’t forget them. Like stars to navigate by, they are lasting markers to direct us and keep us moving in the right course.
Golden rules really exist to be used, to be followed, to guide you. No matter what your ultimate goal is or what challenge you confront, the guideline is there. Just consider the golden rule that is applicable and accept it…
With that in mind, I considered of life in Alabama and some of its unspoken “golden rules”. Here are five of the most popular “Golden Rules” which apply to residing in Alabama.
Golden Rule 1 Choose Between AU or UA! (Some people might say it’s foremost!): You have to decide between Alabama verses Auburn. The reason, that you might like to do that, is because everyone you come across will in all probability ask you who “you are for” and it is always between Auburn & Alabama. Other local college schools like UAB, Troy, JSU, UNA, South Alabama are simply a passing interest to the majority of residents of Alabama. You have to select from one of the iron bowl competitors for your loyalty. Bear (pun intended!) in mind, if you don’t decide, its almost worse than being for the other side. You are regarded a wishy washy fan.
Golden Rule 2, You Have To Eat Corn Bread… Cornbread is as southern as gigging frogs on a hot summer night at the local pond. Remember that cornbread is real good with pinto juice poured on it or even butter..
Golden Rule 3, Attend Church. The reason that this is important is because at least twice a year, Easter or Christmas, people will need to see you there. Otherwise, expect to be asked to attend on a regular basis, because everybody knows everybody, especially in a small town.
Golden Rule 4, Be Polite! Here in the south, we treat people like we would like to be treated and will go the extra mile to help a stranger. . When we are talking to others, we are sure to say please, thank you, & you’re welcome when the need arises. Also, we address our elders by No Sir/Yes Sir and No Ma’am/Yes Ma’am.
Golden Rule 5, Alabama Based Music Gives You Pride! You have to love any music that has something to do with Alabama. This would certainly include every song that the country music group, Alabama recorded, especially “My Home’s In Alabama.” Also, don’t forget Lynyrd Skynyrd and “Sweet Home Alabama.” It is like a state anthem here!
If you follow these golden rules to living in Alabama, you will find that life will be a little sweeter here in the heart of dixie!
